part of growing up is learning to understand:
-when to speak up regardless of the consequences, even if it’s hard, because it’s necessary, because silence is complicity
-when to stay quiet and listen, because it isn’t about you, because it’s about centering someone else’s struggle

The idea that the art itself or even the substance of who the artist *is* can be destroyed by looking. Attention as a kind of radiation that makes you grow extra arms.

It’s so haunting because it’s true, you see it every day.

I’m too much of a weenie to play horror games but I like thinking about them, and lately I keep thinking about Look Outside.

It’s such a powerful metaphor for how looking changes something, how attention corrupts, and I think it’s so relevant in conversations about art but also fame, period—

imagine seeing “guys please don’t talk about how much you hate one half of a ship while in a space having *fun* about said ship, even as a joke” and claiming THAT is toxic behaviour you can’t support 😭 you a literally one of THE most polite persons i’ve met in this hellscape of a fandom. their loss

Viktor is talking busy in thought while Jayce stands beside him looking at him with a face of utter adoration. Jayce then kisses Viktor on the cheek. Another drawing of Jayce talking busy in thought while Viktor is next to him writing stuff down. Viktor is looking at Jayce with a face of utter adoration. Viktor then buries his face in Jayce's shoulder blushing.

The yearning never goes away, no matter how long they've been with each other #jayvik

related: representation is not romanticization!

encouraging writers to consider the experiences of people living with mental illness and disability is not “romanticization.” it’s documenting the human condition and helping people feel less alone.

like, what is it about this man that makes you believe he’s stupid? that he wears his heart on his sleeve? that he’s a *genuinely flawed* character in the “morally grey character show”? christ, even as someone who *didn’t* like jayce in s1, the way the fandom treats him offends me on his behalf

everytime somebody in this fandom unironically refers to jayce as a “himbo” or portrays him as the stupid/“lesser” one, an angel cries. tbh, it feels so. *telling* imo that the most people are willing to interact w/ jayce is to either make him stupid, oversexualize him, or both. i’m so, so, so tired

Elegant or wild
Who will Jayce pick......?😳

“no makeup beyond what she wears in canon”

in canon:

Ekko's embarrassing dream about physalis and the Pre-Raphaelites. He feels awkward telling Jinx about it. Because she wants to be a knight in those dreams too.

A lot of the people who think it's misogynistic for women to write m/m fiction because it somehow "decenters" women are five seconds away from galaxy braining themselves into the opinion that "ACTUALLY it's Feminist to be homophobic 😎" if they're not already there 🤢🤮

"why do you like this ship instead of this other ship that has a completely different dynamic?"

maybe because... they just dont like the dynamic?

also harassing people and insulting them generally doesnt encourage them to join your community... you would get further by being kind and inviting

kill me kill me kill me
or at least remove my uterus please please please please
